That night Ingres didn't sleep. Light the fire in the stove in the center of the house, let the flames burn a little spark, and quietly think about the road ahead with the dim light of the fire.

Toby could settle down anywhere, took out the small wooden bed flower quilt from the snowy feather, changed into pajamas embroidered with plush edges, gave Ingres a goodnight kiss, and obediently lay down on the wooden bed, sleeping peacefully as before.

The usual habits of life dispelled Ingres' apprehension when he first arrived in a strange place.

At least, he's not alone.

With a sip on the corner of her mouth, Angel let go of the thoughts that were stirring around in her head, and stretched out to the window. Not surprisingly, there are large colorful dragonflies parked outside the window, and their bodies are shining with neon brilliance, which is so dreamy that it is intoxicating.

When he first arrived, he didn't feel too sleepy, so he simply took out the holographic tablet and read "The Mystery of the Nightmare Realm".

Life has to go on, as a great wizard with a great future, how can you give up the pursuit of knowledge because of a little setback.

Time passes slowly in learning.

When dawn came, Ingres closed the tablet and began to think about the day's itinerary.

He didn't rest all night last night, although most of it was because of the excitement of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, but in fact, there was another reason, and it was also the main reason why he stayed up late-

But he said that in this dead and silent deserted village blocked by fog, the only difference between day and night is probably the color of the fog. During the day, the fog is grayish-white, and at night, it is blue-black.

By the color of the fog, he compared the time difference between day and night, and roughly estimated that the duration of the day was about 14 hours, and the night lasted about 9 hours. This day-night ratio is actually in line with the average annual level of a harvest month.

Moreover, the dividing point of day and night, the time of the holographic tablet is basically right.

According to this speculation, it is extremely likely that he is currently in the wizarding world, and he is still in the Southern Regions.

Although this information was speculated by him and has not yet been measured, it can be regarded as good news. So, for the rest of the day, Ingres's joy never faded.

Another day is over.

Although Angel has not yet found a way out, he is not so impatient, even if he has not been able to find a way out, it does not hurt to stay in the deserted village for a while.

And, according to what he knew about Sanders, his accident should fall within the scope of Sanders' calf protection, right? When Grea disappeared, Felicia went to the Church of the Crown Star to seek the help of the prophetic wizard. Angel felt that he had "had an accident on duty" and had saved so many people, so Sanders should have gone to the prophetic wizard to locate him and come to him, right?

Ingres didn't know where he had come from.

However, Ingres's self-confidence is not wrong, at least half right. Just as he was leaving from the plane tunnel, Sanders, who was far away in the mirror world, got the news.

Sanders did go to the Wizard of Prophecy, but he didn't go out of his way to find the Church of the Crowned Stars in the Radiant Realm. This is not to say that Sanders doesn't pay attention to Ingres, it's just that Ingres's level is too low to need such a high-end prophetic wizard.

Again, Sanders didn't go to Ingres, he only asked the prophetic wizard one question: "Is Ingres still alive?"

The prophetic wizard has not noticed any trace of Angel, and Sanders has also blackened his face for more than half a month. It wasn't until Ingres left the plane tunnel that the prophetic wizard sensed the trajectory of his fate and said to Sanders, "He's still alive, and he may still be a blessing in disguise, and it's all right now." ”

Because of Sanders' black face, the prophetic wizard did not play as sharp as before, and directly said the conclusion of the coffin.

Sanders' face softened when he heard the news that Angel was still alive.

When the prophetic wizard asks "whether to locate Ingres", Sanders refuses: "As long as you know that he is not dead, then the rest is his own way." ”

With these words, Sanders departed, convinced that Ingres needed the ordeal and was unwilling to make him a canary in an ivory tower.

Therefore, Ingres's self-confidence is only half right. Sanders did find the prophetic wizard, but in fact only inquired about his life and death, and he still had to rely on himself if he wanted to leave.

Of course, Ingres did not put all his hopes on Sanders, and the reason why he was not in a hurry to leave the deserted village was because he really needed time to settle down now.

Because of the coincidence, he was promoted to a second-level apprentice, but he did not have the background that a second-level apprentice should have. At the very least, he has to learn all the first-level tricks he should learn. Moreover, he also needs to start researching "The Mystery of the Nightmare Realm".

These plans take time to accumulate, so Ingres is not averse to staying in a deserted village.

In the days that followed, Ingres began a solitary study.

He put "The Mystery of the Nightmare Realm" in the first place to study, and studied it almost day and night, and he now has a better understanding of the Nightmare Realm.

There is a record of the Nightmare Realm, which makes him feel more at ease to stay in the deserted village:

"Nightmare can also improve fusion, but only if there is enough nightmare aura. ”

The so-called nightmare aura is actually the aura contained in the "nightmare stone" mentioned by Sanders, or in other words, the breath of the nightmare world. There were only a few pieces of Nightmare Stone, and he intended to use them on the edge of the knife, such as against a strong enemy.

Therefore, if he wanted to increase the concentration of the illusionary aura in the Nightmare Realm, staying in the deserted village was the best choice. Because of the dense fog here, it contains the breath of the Nightmare Realm.

The more phantom aura there is in the Nightmare Realm, the more powerful the Nightmare Illusion Technique will be, and it can also rely on the Nightmare Aura to raise the monsters of the Nightmare Realm. According to the record of "The Mystery of the Nightmare Realm", as long as the nightmare aura is strong, the monsters of the Nightmare Realm can even be domesticated and used for their own use.

Ingres skipped the step, and the multicolored dragonflies, parasites, musical teacups, and building block soldiers that remained in his nightmare were actually very obedient. Angels told them to go east, and they would never go west.

The only regret is that their combat power is very low.

He also wanted to go over to accept the colorful dragonflies into the Nightmare Realm to increase his personal combat power, but his extremely extravagant Nightmare Realm was still in its infancy, and the Nightmare Aura was not enough to support this group of "half-step wizard" level monsters, and if he forcibly collected it, it would only make the Colorful Dragonflies slowly starve to death, so he could only give up this idea.

Two months later, at the beginning of the first month of the cold month, Ingres stopped studying. The illusion technique that he can use now is basically thorough, and the illusion aura in the Extreme Luxury Nightmare Realm has also reached a saturated state.

Although the deserted village is like a paradise, there is not much danger. But food is scarce here, there are no wild animals to hunt in the wild, and lately he has been eating magic bread, which makes his mouth smell of stinky socks.

So, under such circumstances, he was ready to leave the deserted village.

......

In the past two months, he has visited every household in the deserted village, but he has not gained anything at all. Where there is a slight written record, it is basically vague. He had spent a lot of time on the dating process, and finally came to the conclusion that this deserted village had been abandoned for at least a thousand years.

Thousands of years have passed in a hurry, and even if the predecessors wanted to leave any useful written information, they have basically turned into dust.

Under such circumstances, Angel was worried: "How should he leave?"

Angel left the village once more, and began to search for a way out of the nearby forest, looking for an entrance to a cavern or something. Most of the trees in the forest have withered, and the ground is full of broken and dead branches, and Angel opens the tentacles of spiritual power to search for it.

But after two rounds, there is still no gain.

Back in the village, Angel decided to think differently and put himself in the shoes of the locals, how would they get out of here?

From some of the exquisite villas in the deserted village, it can be seen that the people who once lived here should have no worries about food and clothing, so there must be a way to obtain supplies from the outside world.

Angel simulates himself as a villager and does nothing else but lives as an ordinary person.

After three days of continuous experience, Angell came to a place -

This is the lake behind the deserted village.

In the past three days, as an "ordinary villager", he needs water to get up early in the morning to wash, eat and bathe. If he didn't use the "water delivery technique", the most diligent place he came to in the day was this lake.

The water of the lake was blackened, and there was a large stench of decay. Ingres wanted to fish from the lake to feed his stomach. But the black, greasy, smelly substance wafting across the lake alone made him retreat.

In general, if there is a water source, you can find a way out of it through an underground channel.

But because the lake was greasy and smelly, and did not have the characteristics of a living lake, Ingres decided that it was a dead lake, either artificially created or rainwater.

Rainwater accumulation is definitely impossible, because Angel had sent Toby into the air some time ago, and there was a hard stone wall overhead, with light-absorbing plants, so it was impossible to rain.

This is actually a miniature version of the Inner Earth that resembles the Dark Devil.

At the time, Angel didn't think much of it, but now that he thinks about it, something is wrong.

Since this can't be a lake where rainwater has accumulated, it should be an artificial lake?...... Since it is an artificial lake, where does the water in the lake come from?

Angels traveled the entire territory, finding no other water sources and digging no wells. Therefore, this lake must be the only place for the villagers to get water.

Then the paradox comes.

How can a lake that can be used for daily life be stagnant water? If the water is not alive, it will also deteriorate, and it is impossible for the villagers to live with the spoiled water.

If there really is no other source of water, then there is only one possibility, this lake was once living water!

Angel looked at the lake, which was estimated to have been dead for nearly a thousand years, and wanted to know the real reason, so he went down to find out.

Slightly lowering his hat, the purification force field was turned on, and Ingre's body was surrounded by a pale white light mask, leaping into the dark and rancid lake......
